Mental or Emotional Stress Cited as Reason for Leaving Education Service in Last Five Years

40 Mr Darryl David asked the Minister for Education in the last five years, how many educators have cited mental or emotional stress at the workplace for leaving the education service.

Mr Chan Chun Sing: In the past five years, less than one in 20 of our teachers who had resigned cited job-related stress or workload as their reason for leaving service.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) values our teachers and will continue to work with school leaders and stakeholders to support our teachers' well-being, so that they can, in turn, continue to give their best to the education of our students.
